Appraisal
This well-preserved house displays finely balanced proportions and retains a complete collection of early farm buildings, it is a good example of developments in mid-sized rural architecture in the early nineteenth century. The retention of original and early features are important and of particular note is the fine stained glass detailing to the entrance door. The outbuildings serve to complete the site context and are an important survival.
